Tod Stiles Rides Off on Rt-66
08 09 15 - 20:01TV's wholesome, "boy next door", Martin Milner passed away yesterday at the ripe old age of 83. On "Route 66", Milner played opposite a Corvette convertible, as he & a buddy traveled across America for 4 seasons. The show documented social issues of the time & rode the popularity wave of America's love affair with cars.
Milner was born in Detroit in 1931 & his family moved to LA when he was a teenager. Milner's career started early when Jack Webb cast him into a Dragnet episode. Webb later cast him as the star of the popular Adam-12 police drama.
Ya did good, Detroiter! RIP
